Ratings and reviews

This book was good. I enjoyed reading it because it related to situation in todays society and the struggle teenage girls go thought today. This book was about a girls life where she lived with her grandmother because her mother is in school and her father can not take care of her. Her and her bestfriend, who is also her aunt get in a complication over a boy that attend their high school.

This was a very good book not as good as tyrell though. This book shows how teens live in todays world

It's so original because of this i started reading all of Coe Booth books.
